The Grand Canal

As Venice was built on water, so the city is best appreciated from the water. When you come to Venice, take the opportunity to experience a private boat trip along the Grand Canal with your local guide, to admire the spectacular facades of the Venetian Palaces, pass beneath the famous Rialto Bridge, and navigate the maze of narrow side-canals.

Travelling by boat through the canals, the city’s watery streets, will give you the opportunity to witness a truly authentic aspect of Venetian life: you will see transport boats laden with merchandise, refuse boats, water-borne ambulances and fire-engines – here in Venice everything and everyone moves by water.
